Work success!
Dec. 1st, 2022 09:34 pmToday I succeeded at a thing at work that I thought I couldn't do! The long story made short is that certain powers-that-be changed the program that we use to do a certain thing, but gave very little instructions on INSTALLING the program, and so I had an extended number of meetings with IT and ad-hoc consultations with people who got it working in wholly separate orgs from me, and I got it MAYBE working but couldn't get it to actually work with the thing we have as far as I did it....
( The arc of my struggles )
Anyway this morning I told some coworkers it might be a huge fire on the horizon and that I wouldn't be able to get A Certain Thing done until maybe January, but now after pushing through it?????? I'm like "yes I AM the expert, and I've done the hard part of A Certain Thing so it could be done as early as tomorrow if I can complete the last necessary steps" (which should be the same as previously and well documented, so fingers crossed that is much simpler).
Sorry this is super vague bc if I tried to get into the technical details it would be a much longer post, but I feel like a strong super cool and competent employee, especially since just a few days ago (and even weeks ago when first wrestling with IT about the new software) I felt very hopeless and lost and now I'm like !!!!! I am nearly at an End Product when I thought I would be completely unable to get to this stage without Team Leader's help, I am smarter than I think and buckling down and pushing through self-doubt and hopelessness can bear fruit!
